Alexa—the brain behind Amazon Echo—updates through the cloud automatically and is continually learning, adding new functionality and skills. The more you use Echo, the more it adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary and personal preferences.

We’ve recently added Alexa calling and messaging, multi-room music and reminders, along with skills from third-party developers.

Skills add even more capabilities such as ordering take away from Just Eat, requesting a ride from Uber, checking train times from National Rail and more. Enabling skills lets your Amazon Echo do even more—simply discover and enable the skills you want to use in the Alexa App.

New skills are being added all the time. You can also see ratings and reviews to learn what other customers are saying about skills in the Alexa App. Discover and enable skills.

In some ways the Echo is a glimpse in tot he future, it's so very clever and opens up endless possibilities of interaction. make sure you set the location on the app and Alexa can tell you all about local events, traffic, weather etc. Link it to your MS Exchange or GMAIL account and she tell you your plans for the next week - As I am sorting breakfast I tell her to open radio Player, then ask for todays diary then the weather, it sets me up for the day, knowing all this without lifting a finger is incredible, don't you agree?

It gets even better if you use REVERB on your Android phone, linking in to you Echo account, you can use your phone to control the echo - awesome - I even have it all linked to lights in the house and office that Alexa can control instantly.

However, there are some downsides to this technological breakthrough - I wanted to buy another Echo, maybe 2, but after speaking to Amazon, only 1 can play the music on my Prime account, and there is no way (without paying £15 a month extra and using multiple accounts) to make all the Echo's play the same tunes - It would be awesome if we could fill our homes and gardens with the same music piping form multiple Echo's, but we cannot :/ So for that it's back to my Sonos DNLA speakers and that brings me to point 2, there is no DNLA on the Echo, really crazy to miss that off when so many people have now invested in NAS's for the home and office - We use Synology which have a great music app and it can cast to everything on DNLA so if Echo had that too, it would be incredible and also then it would be feasible to own 2 or more on one Prime account.When I am playing music, if I say "Alexa, play chillout pop songs" she cannot find any, but if I say "Alexa, play chill out pop" she then says "playing chilled out pop songs"; that really annoys me as it happens all the time, do not say songs on the end.

For the most part the Echo is brilliant, but there are issues, one is with the Radio player at the moment, which is apparently being addressed, but it's been like this for 2 weeks.

It is getting better and new stuff is added al the time apparently so if you like your mucic and you love technology then treat yourself, just be prepared for a few bugs on the way, but new technology is always the same.

Omg what have I been missing out on,Why didn't I buy this sooner,What an absolutely amazing device,Sound is perfect and the Alexa is just excellent,This was a refurb unit for £50 cheaper than new itemAnd I honestly couldn't tell it wasn't new when it arrivedOnly giveaway was the refurbished sticker,Overall I'm super happy with this little gem.

I don't write many reviews but felt this item deserved one. Being quite skeptical about these voice-enabled devices so I started with an Echo Dot and liked it so much I bought the Refurbished 1st Gen Echo. It's absolutely great, once set up, it's easy to use and a lot of fun. The sound quality of this 1st generation for the money is top notch, sounds natural and much better than many speakers at twice the cost. The multi-room function is pretty good too, it syncs up very well to avoid that reverberation that you can get from some systems. Out of the box, it's not really portable and needs a power socket, and it's not so easy to change the WiFI setting, for example if you take it elsewhere. So don't think of it as a carry with you Bluetooth Speaker. All in all, I love it, and I thank Alexa for reviving my interest in the music I grew up with. Has to be 4.5 Stars.

I can't tell the difference between this and the new ones. Comes packaged with all wrappings and is as good as new.With a full year guarantee this is outstanding value. The only thing to note if setting up numerous Alexas in music groups is 1) use the same wifi group for each group 2) if you have a lot of alexas attach then in 5ghz band(as often under utilised). And if you have issues call the support team. They spent an hour on the phone getting my groups to work. And once l addressed above two points eveything works as it should do.

The sound quality is great, but although steadily improving, the speech recognition has room for improvement. You have to use the app if you want to connect to more than one Bluetooth input. Value for money remains good. A good option for home automation, radio and Bluetooth speaker.

Excellent gadget. It took a while on the helpline to pair with the BT Hub 4 WiFi. A new output needed to be set up at 5 MHz, after that Alexa clearly needed her own space and became much more cooperative. Good service from Amazon both for delivery and after sales support.
